Catching Fire Inspired Look

Hey guys, so today, I wanted to show you all another makeup look done using the Naked 3 Palette. When I first got the palette, the two colours that stood out the most for me, and the colours that I most wanted to try were Buzz and Trick. Buzz is a gorgeous shimmery pink colour that I have already used in my Pretty in Pink makeup look, and Trick which is a metallic orangey sort of colour. So I decided that I definitely wanted to use Trick today's look. I originally wanted to put a light shimmery brown colour in the crease and outer corner, but I was too inspired by the makeup looks that Katniss wears in The Hunger Games Catching Fire film that I watched last night. I then decided to try to recreate the shape of the makeup that she wears, which is really pointed upwards and outwards, and to really darken it up in the corners. So that is what lead me to create this makeup look. I'll now tell you what products I used and what I did.

Products Used:

Foundation: Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation

My Christmas Wishlist

Hey guys, here are a few things that I've had my eye on lately and know that some of them would make great presents not only for me but for any girls like a sister or a friend that you need to buy a Christmas present for last minute.

1. Urban Decay's Naked 3 : Debenhams €44
The first thing that I have really wanted since I heard it was coming out is the Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay. I have both of the first two and I absolutely love them. I've always really liked wearing neutral colours so I find that these palettes are great because I wear them all the time. I think that one of the Naked palettes should be on everyone's wishlist this Christmas because they aren't too expensive and they are fantastic quality. I've linked Naked 3 above on the Debenhams website but you can also buy it here on Amazon.

2. Gold Tone Diamante Embellished Bracelet Watch : River Island £28 (€37)
I saw this watch on the River Island website and I really like it. I've been looking to get a gold watch and I think that this one is so pretty and fairly inexpensive at the same time even though it looks expensive. I think this watch would make a really good present for a friend/sister/girlfriend.

3. Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer : Amazon £4.18 (€5)
I've wanted to try this concealer for the longest time now but I just never get around to buying it. I heard amazing things about it from other beauty bloggers and the best thing about it is that it's so cheap. I will probably just buy this for myself for Christmas as it is so cheap and then I'll finally have it. I linked Amazon above because it was the cheapest but you can also get this concealer in Boots and other pharmacies.

4.  Alien Eau De Parfum by Thierry Mugler : Boots £43.50 (€45.25)
I got a free sample of this perfume when I was buying some Christmas presents last week and I absolutely fell in love with it. It smells amazing and when I saw the bottle for it I just thought it was so cool and pretty; really unique. It's pretty expensive though so I'd definitely recommend getting a sample of this perfume to see if you like it as much as I do before you buy it. It would also make a really great Christmas present.

5. Essie Mind Your Mittens Nail Polish : Amazon £8.94 (€11)
I've noticed that I have been wearing a lot of similar coloured nail polish lately which are wine and plum colours. My big wake up call to this problem happened when I went shopping with a friend and we were looking at nail polishes. I ran over and grabbed the one that caught my eye thinking it was gorgeous and then I realized that I was wearing pretty much the exact same shade on my nails at the time. That was when I decided I needed to find different colours to wear and found this Essie one on their website. It is a gorgeous dark teal and I absolutely love it for winter time. I still love my winey-plum colours but I think that this colour is so nice and so me, and Essie nail polishes are such good quality that they last for ages.

Hope you liked this post. Leave a comment down below with what you want for Christmas and let me know if it's any of the same ones as me. I'd love to know :)
